In this book, we present a novel framework of high-tech modern
medicine. Patients going through major high-tech medical
interventions, e.g. Advanced Heart Failure (AdHF) patients
undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and
heart transplantation, must integrate scientific and technological
advances into personal life, including strong emotional experiences
unthinkable thirty years ago, novel to themselves and their
caregivers and unknown to healthcare professionals. Our book
provides a theoretical framework for the person-centered vision to
"heal humankind by improving health, alleviating suffering and
delivering acts of kindness, one person at a time", we develop the
theoretical as well as practical concept of the "RelationalAct (RA)
" as core concept to engage and participate in modern medicine.This
